Hi guys, a buddy of mine has left me with a 1988 Cargo 8000 to prepare for local Commercial inspection. Without digging too deep i have found a large number of electrical issues, but am not having much luck finding schematics online, or any technical information for that matter! Anyone have any of this stuff in PDF they would be willing to share?

Also, any good websites for looking up and/or ordering factory parts? All my usual sources for smaller passenger cars/trucks don't even list these models.

 

Post the VIN .. that once decoded .. will ID the truck you have.

 

here is the vin: 9BFXH81A6JDM04482

 

Now we know what a 1988 8000 Cargo is...

9BF = FoMoCo of Brasil - Ford Truck - HL3 Cargo (Incomplete Vehicle).

X = (Brasil only) - Air Brakes - 13,401-29,000 lbs. GVWR

H81 = CF800 Diesel Cargo.

A = Ford FTO 7.8L (476 cid) I-6 Diesel.

6 = Check Digit, FoMoCo use only.

J = 1988.

D = Assembled in Sao Paulo Brasil.

M04482 = 1988 Numerical Sequence of Assembly.

1980/89 Ford Heavy Truck (600/900 series) Parts Catalog available on a C/D from hipoparts.com.

Websites available to the general public to search for parts (part number required): PartsVoice.com & rearcounter.com

FoMoCo dealers have their own in-house website, the general public cannot access it.

 

Thanks, I called the local ford dealer today with a few parts, they didnt have much luck, out of about 10 parts they were only able to order me in 1 of them.

It seems these trucks were not common up here.

 

what parts are you looking for? i also have a electrical/ vacuum troubleshooting manual ,let me know what system you are troubleshooting ,if its in the book i can fax you a copy

Looking for :

-Driver door mirror (only need glass, but will take a whole unit)
- Cab locks, the actual latches that latch to the frame posts
- Headlight switch (how the hell do you remove it?!?)

Also, the wiring is quite a mess, Schematics for the dash and instrument panel wiring would be a huge help. If you have those i can PM you a fax number.

 

Which type of switch? Is it a toggle type, or does it have a **** & shaft you pull out?

 

Picture of the mirror and latch, i need both side latches

 

also its the 3 position Dial selector headlight switch.

 

TYPE 14 mirror (see below), the mirror head is available by itself.
